Spezzy

When it comes to hockey, I've given Gunnar the nickname 'The Cros', based on Sidney Crosby, so I have to come up with one for Ardan now. And seeing how his favorite player is Jason Spezza from the Ottawa Senators, I'm going to call him 'Spezzy'.

We were at Spezzy's Novice tournament in Rocky today (aaalllll day); their first game was against Rocky and their second game was against Lacombe. They won both games, and Ardan got three assists and one goal. So they've made it to the finals tomorrow, lets cross our fingers they play as well as they did today.

Ardan's team is on a perfect winning streak -- they haven't lost a single game since the season started!! Pretty incredible. Look at Ardan on the video, how fast he is, how he can just suddenly change directions. Can you believe this is only his 2nd year playing hockey? His 2nd year of even skating?

So anyway, here's some video footage of Ardan playing during the first game. The Lakers are in black (Ardan is #14) and Rocky is in white. Of course, my camera batteries just had to die during that first game so I didn't even get to video Ardan's goal. Doh!

Hey, I like the nicknames. Cros and Spezzy. This could be a new TV series, based on the names I mean.

Those boys can sure skate! Definitely from Ty's genes but Grampa Rogers can really skate too.

Good vidoes.
Hag.

It was only after I'd written the post that I remembered Ardan already HAS a nickname, "AK-47: The Secret Weapon". Oops. But I kinda like Spezzy more!

Wow..he's awesome!! We really need to come out and seem him one of these days. Oh and I loved Lena cheering for him in part 2 I think it was.

Ryder was so cute counting to 6. Brilliant niece and nephews we have!
